SEQUIM — The installation of an elevator at the historic Dungeness Schoolhouse allows easy access to events on the second floor, something that posed a challenge in the past for some. The elevator is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and was inspected by Clallam County in November, said Judy Stipe, executive director of the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley, which owns and operates the schoolhouse. The elevator replaces a dysfunctional chair lift that had been nicknamed “Galloping Gerdy,” Stipe said. “We have this old, nasty chairlift that made about 2½ trips and would quit in the middle of the last trip,” Stipe said. The building, which opened as a schoolhouse in February 1893, is located along the banks of the Dungeness River about 5 miles north of Sequim at 2781 Towne Road.

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — At our back door lie 1,442
square miles where everyone can come together, according to Rob Smith, the National Parks Conservation Association’s Northwest regional director in Seattle. That observation frames what Smith calls the biggest reason Congress should adequately fund Olympic National Park. “Even in these contentious times, the national parks are something almost everyone can agree on,” Smith said. “Parks are places where people can come together. That’s worth putting some money into.” The National Parks Conservation Association on Thursday decried what it said was a 60
percent shortfall in funds it says the park needs to serve its visitors. The group, whose mission is “protecting and enhancing” the national park system, published Park on the Edge, which targets these specific needs: ■ Elwha River Restoration, where the report says “a relatively small amount of additional funds” could complete revegetation of the watercourse freed by removing the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams, and continue scientific monitoring and research on effects of the $325 million project. ■ Wilderness Coast, where “years of underfunding have taken their toll on weather-beaten trails” above the Pacific Ocean.

Plans for radio, cell tower raise concerns Proposal aimed at site near Sequim BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
SEQUIM — Plans to build a 150-foot-tall radio and cellphone tower north of Sequim near the Dungeness Heights Subdivision has drawn ire from neighboring residents. “I cannot believe there is not an alternative site within this whole community than in this residential neighborhood,” said Diane Hood, 66, a former real estate agent who lives near the proposed tower site. Hood said she and a group of other residents opposed to the
project had planned to attend a public hearing Wednesday to speak out against the cell tower. That meeting was postponed Friday at the request of Gunnerson Consulting, which is representing the parties involved in the project. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 27. The radio/cell tower, if approved, would house FM and cellular antennas and would be disguised as a giant pine tree, according to plans submitted to the Clallam County Department of Community Development. The plans call for the tower to
be built at 686 Brigadoon Road on property owned by Shirley Tjemsland. The radio/cell tower and accompanying infrastructure have been designed by Ken Hays’ architectural firm at the behest of Radio Pacific, owned by Brown Maloney, and the Tjemsland family, Maloney said Friday. Radio Pacific owns and operates radio stations KONP AM-FM and KSTI-FM, both of Port Angeles. The company is considering the launch of a third station in Sequim, Maloney said. Estimates about the cost to construct the tower are not currently available, Maloney said. The tower would be located

Freeman unhurt after forced landing A PLANE CARRYING actor Morgan Freeman and his pilot blew a tire on takeoff from a Mississippi airport and made an emergency landing in which its landing gear collapsed and the plane ran off the side of a runway, authorities said. No one was injured. Mayor Bill Luckett of Clarksdale, a friend of the 78-year-old Oscar-winning actor, told The Associated Press that the twin-engine plane made what he described as a controlled forced landing just before nightfall Saturday at an airport in Tunica, Miss., after it had taken off from another airport in his area. Both cities are near each other in northwestern Mississippi, with Tunica about 40 miles southwest of Memphis, Tenn. Freeman issued a statement saying he was heading to Texas from Mississippi aboard his plane to shoot a segment for the series “The Story of God.” “Sometimes things don’t go as planned and a tire blew on takeoff, which caused other problems,” Freeman said in the statement sent by his publicist. “But thanks to my excellent pilot, Jimmy Hobson,

Jenner being sued A family who suffered serious injuries in a fatal traffic collision involving Caitlyn Jenner earlier this year sued the Olympic gold medalist Friday. The Wolf-Milesi family of Malibu sued Jenner in Los Angeles Superior Court for negligence in the February crash, which killed one woman after Jenner rearended her car and pushed it into oncoming traffic on the
Pacific Coast Highway. A sport utility vehicle driven by Peter WolfMilesi struck a car driven by Kim Howe, killing her. The lawsuit states the four members of the WolfMilesi family and another occupant of their vehicle sustained serious injuries in the crash. Peter Wolf-Milesi suffered serious wrist injuries, and his 1-month-old son was unresponsive after the accident, according to the lawsuit. Wolf-Milesi’s wife also sustained blunt-force injuries and requires ongoing treatment, the suit states. “The emotional effects of being involved in a collision that has taken the life of another has caused tremendous distress and suffering for the Wolf-Milesi family,” the suit states.

MELVIN WILLIAMS, 73, a former West Baltimore drug kingpin who had a recurring role on the television show “The Wire,” has died. The Baltimore Sun reported that Mr. Williams died Thursday at a Baltimore hospital. The Wylie Funeral Home said it is handling the arrangements. The Sun reported that the man known as “Little Melvin” spent years in federal prison for drug and gun convictions but later spoke out against drug use and gang life. “The Wire” co-creator David Simon covered Mr. Williams as a Sun reporter. After Mr. Williams met with Simon and a former homicide detective collaborating with Simon, Mr. Williams was offered the role of the deacon on “The Wire.” He appeared in episodes in seasons three and four. The Wire ran from 2002 to 2008.
_________ CHUCK WILLIAMS, 100, who founded the Williams-Sonoma empire and ushered in an era of aspirational culinary retailing, has died. The retailer of high-end home goods said Mr. Williams died peacefully of
natural causes Saturday at his home in San Francisco. Mr. Williams opened his first Williams-Sonoma store in Sonoma, Calif., in 1956 inspired by a trip to Paris three years earlier. A lover of cooking and entertaining, he wanted U.S. professional chefs and home cooks to have access to high-quality cookware and tools. He refurbished the store off Sonoma’s town square, covering the floor with black and white checkerboard tiles and painting the walls a bright yellow that he’d seen in pictures. He built custom shelving to display individual pots and pans and crafted a simple logo with the words “Williams” and “Sonoma” in block letters over a woodcut illustration of a pineapple — a symbol of hospitality. The shop was such an enormous success that in 1958, he relocated to a 3,000-square-foot store in San Francisco, next to the city’s bustling Union Square shopping district. Julia Child’s landmark 1961 cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her cooking show on television sent even more cooks interested in French cuisine to WilliamsSonoma, and by 11 years
later, that store had expanded to twice its original size and the catalog, first published in black and white in 1958, was flourishing.

1940 (75 years ago) Sparkling with new songs, fast comedy and an array of colorful dances, the Universal musical “Argentine Nights” opens Sunday at the Olympian Theatre [Port Angeles] with the Ritz Brothers and the Andrews Sisters as its co-stars. Never have the three comedians cavorted to more hilarious effect. Their antics brought more spontaneous laughter from the audience than anything they have offered since their earlier film successes. For the Andrews Sisters, a famous swing trio, the picture marks an auspicious debut on the screen.
1965 (50 years ago) There might not be a Clallam County Fair next year. Appearing before the county commissioners yesterday, the group, led by President Walter Baar of the Clallam County Fair Association, said it’s mighty tough to make a go of it.
In a letter presented to commissioners three reasons were listed as primary contributing factors: “inadequate county funds for the repair and maintenance of buildings and grounds; status of lease between city and county for the fair grounds; general decline of public interest in county fairs.”

TODAY IS MONDAY, Dec. 7, the 341st day of 2015. There are 24 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On Dec. 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of a plan to pre-empt any American military response to Japan’s planned conquest of Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day. On this date: ■ In 43 B.C., Roman statesman and scholar Marcus Tullius Cicero was slain at the order of the
Second Triumvirate. ■ In 1946, fire broke out at the Winecoff Hotel in Atlanta; the blaze killed 119 people, including hotel founder W. Frank Winecoff. ■ In 1965, Pope Paul VI and Orthodox Patriarch Athenagoras I simultaneously lifted the mutual excommunications that had led to the split of their churches in 1054. ■ In 1987, 43 people were killed after a gunman aboard a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner in California apparently opened fire on a fellow passenger, the pilots and himself, causing the plane to crash. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev set foot on American soil for the first time, arriving for a
Washington summit with President Ronald Reagan. ■ In 1995, a 746-pound probe from the Galileo spacecraft hurtled into Jupiter’s atmosphere, sending back data to the mothership before it was presumably destroyed. ■ Ten years ago: Federal air marshals shot and killed an airline passenger, Rigoberto Alpizar, at Miami International Airport after he claimed to have a bomb. It turned out that Alpizar, who suffered from bipolar disorder, had no bomb. ■ Five years ago: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange surrendered to authorities in London, where he was jailed for nine days before being freed on bail as he
fought extradition to Sweden for questioning in a rape investigation. Mike Tyson, three-division champion Julio Cesar Chavez of Mexico and Russian-born Kostya Tszyu, a junior welterweight champion, were selected for induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and Museum; also selected were Mexican trainer Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain, referee Joe Cortez, and “Rocky” actor and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone. ■ One year ago: Six prisoners held for 12 years at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, arrived in Uruguay amid a new push by President Barack Obama to close the U.S. prison.

A4 Briefly: Nation Carter says scan shows no more cancer ATLANTA — Jimmy Carter said Sunday his most recent brain scan showed no signs of cancer, more than three months after he began treatment for four melanoma tumors. “My most recent MRI brain scan did not reveal any signs of the original cancer spots nor any new ones,” Carter said in a statement. Carter The twosentence statement followed reports that he had shared the good news with a Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church in Carter’s hometown of Plains, Ga. “I went to the doctors this week for the second time,” Carter, 91, said in a video posted on Twitter by NBC News. “The first time I went for an MRI of my brain, the four places were still there but they were responding to the treatment. And when I went this week, they didn’t find any cancer at all. So I have good news.”
Attorney: Hostage dead NEENAH, Wis. — An attorney says the man killed during a standoff at a motorcycle shop in Wisconsin was a hostage who
died while fleeing the gunman. Milwaukee lawyer Cole J. White, who said he is representing the family, on Sunday identified the dead man as 60-year-old Michael Funk of Neenah. White said he got the identification from state authorities and Funk’s wife. Police say officers fired at a man who did not drop a weapon after leaving the building but that he also may have been shot at from inside the building. Police have not announced the name of the man. Shots were reported at Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah on Saturday, along with a report that hostages had been taken. A man was taken into custody after hours of negotiations.
Rules not followed BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Texas has for seven years said it won’t accept Mexican identification cards when issuing birth certificates for children of people in the United States illegally. But it doesn’t appear to have stepped up enforcement until recently, amid mounting political pressure to get tougher on immigration, records obtained by The Associated Press show. That could validate complaints from immigrant parents suing in federal court, claiming the state is denying “birthright” U.S. citizenship for their Texasborn children guaranteed under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Malik, 29, and Farook, 28, were killed in a furious shootout with police hours after the attack. On Sunday, scores of mourners visited a growing memorial on a corner near the social service center where the shooting took place. There were American flags, poster that read “Pray for the world,” balloons, candles and cards. Many said they hoped the community would pull together.
Briefly: World Kerry’s ‘one state’ remark causes disquiet JERUSALEM — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry set off an uproar in Israel on Sunday after warning that the country, through its continued West Bank occupation, will become a “binational state.” Kerry’s words describe a scenario that would mark a failure of U.S. policy and end to Israel’s existence as a country that is both Jewish Kerry and democratic. The U.S., the international community and many Israelis have endorsed the “two-state solution” — establishing a Palestinian state and ending Israel’s control over millions of Palestinians in territories occupied in the 1967 war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that “Israel will not be a binational state” and blamed the Palestinians for the failure of peace efforts. But despite Netanyahu’s pledges, Jewish settlement of the West Bank continues apace, while confusion over his true intentions grows by the day. Meanwhile, Israel seems unable to stem a wave of stabbings and other attacks by Pal-
estinian individuals, now in its third month, that has killed 19 Israelis and left over 100 Palestinians, most said by Israel to be attackers, dead.
Knife attack probed LONDON — Counter-terrorism police in Britain on Sunday investigated a stabbing at a London Underground station in which a man brandishing a knife injured two people and reportedly said, “This is for Syria.” Police arrested a 29-year-old man late Saturday and said they are treating the “violent unprovoked knife attack” at east London’s Leytonstone subway station as a “terrorist incident.” Richard Walton, chief of Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command, said the decision was made because of information received from witnesses and subsequent police investigations. The force said it was searching a residential address in east London but declined to say whether they were looking for other suspects. British media widely reported that the suspect linked his actions to Syria after the attack. The claim could not be independently verified, but the incident comes just days after Parliament approved British airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria. Like many other European countries, authorities in Britain are already on edge after Islamic extremist attacks in Paris last month left 130 people dead. The Associated Press

CHICAGO — The U.S. Justice Department is expected to launch a wide-ranging investigation this week into the patterns and practices of the Chicago Police Department similar to recent probes of Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., after a white Chicago police officer shot a black teenager 16 times, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person said the Justice Department is expected to make the announcement of a civil rights
Quick Read
investigation this week. The person was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly because it has not yet been announced and only spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The civil rights probe comes as the police department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are under intense over their handling of the October 2014 death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. White officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder more than a year after the killing and just one day before the release of police dashboard camera video showing the officer
firing 16 shots at the black teenager. Since then, Emanuel forced Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to resign and formed a task force to examine the department in an effort to calm the city and deal with the most serious crisis of his administration. But the pressure on the mayor has not diminished. The calls for the mayor to resign — something he said he won’t do — have grown louder from protesters in the city, including more than 200 people who shouted that he step down during a Sunday afternoon march in downtown Chicago.

A U.S. SHIPMENT of much-needed groceries and other astronaut supplies rocketed toward the International Space Station for the first time in months Sunday, reigniting NASA’s commercial delivery service. If the Orbital ATK capsule arrives at the space station Wednesday as planned, it will represent the first U.S. delivery since spring. To NASA’s relief, the weather cooperated after three days of high wind and cloudy skies that kept the Atlas V rocket firmly on the ground. Everything came together on the fourth launch attempt, allowing the unmanned Atlas to blast off in late afternoon with 7,400 pounds of space station cargo.
THE “HUNGER GAMES” finale spoiled an early Christmas for the holiday horror comedy “Krampus” to maintain its top spot at the North American box office for the third week running. The Jennifer Lawrence-led film took in an estimated $18.6 million in the U.S. and Canada, bringing its domestic total to $227 million, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The anti-Santa Claus thriller from Universal, the only film to debut in the top 10 this week, brought in $16 million. The normally slow weekend following Thanksgiving was up 26 percent from a year ago thanks to the fresh fodder from Universal.
FRANCE’S FAR RIGHT National Front won more support than any other party in the first round of regional elections Sunday, according to polling agency projections, in a new boost for Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration strategy and a new blow to President Francois Hollande’s Socialists. The projections put National Front candidates on top so far in six of France’s 13 newly drawn regions. But Sunday’s voting was only a first round, and some mainstream voters may steer away from far right candidates in the decisive Dec. 13 runoff. It is the last election before France votes for president in 2017 and a gauge of the country’s political direction.
AIRSTRIKES HIT SEVERAL positions of the Islamic State group in its de facto capital of Raqqa in northern Syria on Sunday, killing and wounding at least 15 people, opposition activists and social media pages loyal to the Islamic State group said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 15 blasts shook the northern and eastern outskirts of Raqqa on Sunday, killing 32 Islamic State fighters and wounding over 40. A Raqqa-based activist group that reports on the Islamic State group, known as Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, said warplanes struck Islamic State group positions on the edge of the city. It had no word on casualties.

CARLSBORG — Tours of the Clallam County Public Utility District’s new administrative office will be offered after the ribbon is cut for the grand opening of the facility Saturday. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. at the new building at 104 Hooker Road in Carlsborg. Tours of the 29,496-square-foot facility will continue until 2 p.m. The PUD moved into the $8 million building Nov. 24. The move consolidates the offices at 2431 E. U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles and at 502 S. Still Road in Sequim. “We are very proud of what the new main office means for not only the PUD but also for Clallam County, and we hope our customers will take some time to come out to the celebration and tour the facility,” said Doug Nass, general manager.
Payment centers The PUD also has opened payment centers in Port Angeles and Sequim. The Sequim center is inside the Co-op at 216 E. Washington St. The Port Angeles center is inside Country Aire Natural Foods at 200 W. First St. They are open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily. “This year marks the 75th anniversary of the PUD serving Clallam County,” said Will Purser,

Eye on Congress
BY DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Education Act for four years while giving states and localities expanded authority over the spending of federal K-12 school funds. The bill would continue mandatory reading and math testing in grades three through eight and once in high school that was required under the 2001 No Child Left Behind law. But it would allow state and local authorities to develop their own measures for improving school, teacher and student performance in response to test scores. In addition, the bill would make adherence to Common Core academic standards optional; expand access to early childhood education; boost the number of charter schools beyond the 6,700 now in operation and provide special federal aid to help states improve their lowest performing schools. The bill authorizes $24 billion annually for K-12 education, about 60 percent of which is Title I funding to aid impoverished districts and provide disadvantaged students with better educational opportunities. Overall, the bill accounts for about 4 percent of total spending for public-school education in the U.S. No opponent spoke against the bill during floor debate. Kilmer voted no. ■ TO KILL RULE ON CARBON EMISSIONS: Voting 242 for and 180 against, the House last Tuesday adopted a measure (SJ Res 24) that would kill a new Environmental Protection Agency rule to limit carbon emissions from existing natural gas- and coalfired power plants. The bill targets the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, which would allow each state to develop its own steps for meeting federally set limits on carbon discharges from plants that generate electricity. Those emissions make up about one-third of greenhouse-gas discharges in the U.S and are the nation’s largest source of carbon pollution, according to the EPA. Critics say the rule would cost jobs, particularly in coal country, and hamper the overall U.S. economy. A yes vote was to send the measure to President Barack Obama, who has promised a veto. Kilmer voted no.

Sen. Maria Cantwell D-Mountlake Terrace
Rep. Derek Kilmer D-Gig Harbor
ENERGY PACKAGE: Voting 249 for and 174 against, the House last Thursday passed a GOP-drafted energy bill (HR 8) that would, in part, repeal the current ban on exporting U.S. crude oil; scale back environmental reviews of cross-border pipeline projects between the U.S. and Canada or Mexico; expedite Department of Energy approval of applications for exporting liquefied natural gas; increase energy efficiency in federal buildings; expedite decisions on the location of new gas pipelines and allow construction of pipelines through national parks and other sensitive public lands.

SEATTLE — The state has taken another step toward starting a traditional 529 college savings plan, as people continue to ask for refunds from the state’s prepaid tuition program, which will remain frozen for now. The new plan would be run by the state, not an outside investment group. The committee that runs Washington’s college savings program decided at a meeting in Olympia on Thursday that it will ask the state Legislature to allocate money to pay the start-up costs for the new savings plan. They want to have the Washington State Investment Board handle the investment side and use existing software and processes to manage the program, which could be ready to open by 2017. This kind of independently run 529 college savings plan would be similar to plans in six other states, according to Betty Lochner, director of the Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program. It would offer another alternative to people who want to save for college and would be more attractive to parents with older children, she said, adding that the GET program was always aimed at families with babies and young children.
Investment program The goal would be to set up an investment program that gets good results for savers while offering low fees and Lochner expressed confidence that could happen. “We don’t want to do this unless we can do this well,” Lochner said. She emphasize that this would not be a replacement for the GET program and that the committee is consciously going down two paths right now: exploring this new approach and thinking about how it can reopen the GET program. “That’s one of the pieces that’s confusing to customers,” Lochner said. “They are two separate issues.” She said lawmakers and members of the public have told her that they want to see the GET program reopen, but the committee does not plan to discuss that until after the Legislature finishes its work next year. State Treasurer Jim McIntire said development of the new program comes at a good time, because people are uncertain about the GET program. “I think this will be a really positive move,” said McIntire, who sits on the GET planning committee. “I look forward to being able to help move this idea forward.” Thursday’s actuarial report on the GET program shows it is financially strong, with about 140 percent of the assets it needs to meet its future tuition obligations. About 8,669 people out of 130,000 savers have asked for their money back from the GET program since the committee offered refunds earlier this year. The committee took that action because it recognized that the prepaid tuition program had lost some of its appeal and investment value since Washington tuition rates were cut by the Legislature. The program is designed around the idea that tuition always goes up. More than $63 million in refunds have been processed so far and state officials say that number will continue to grow.

Putin’s great adventure goes awry WHEN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR Putin of Russia announced he was setting up an air base in the middle of Syria to take on the Islamic State, also called ISIS, and bolster President Bashar Assad, Thomas L. Friedman more than a few analysts and politicians praised his forceful, gamechanging, strategic brilliance, suggesting that Putin was crazy like a fox. Some of us thought he was just crazy. Well, two months later, let’s do the math: So far, Putin’s Syrian adventure has resulted in a Russian civilian airliner carrying 224 people being blown up, apparently by pro-Islamic State militants in Sinai. Turkey shot down a Russian bomber after it strayed into Turkish territory. And then Syrian rebels killed one of the pilots as he parachuted to earth and one of the Russian marines sent to rescue him. Many of the anti-Assad rebels in that area are ethnic Turkmens, with strong cultural ties to Turkey; Turkey was not amused
by Putin bombing Turkmen villages inside Syria, because it weakens Turkey’s ability to shape Syria’s future. Meanwhile, in Crimea, Ukraine, which Putin annexed, pro-Turkish Tatars apparently cut the power lines, plunging Crimea into a near total blackout. And in October, dozens of Saudi clerics called for a “holy war” against the governments of Syria, Iran and Russia. In sum, Putin’s “crafty” Syrian chess move has left him with a lot more dead Russians; newly at odds with Turkey and Iran; weakened in Ukraine; acting as the defense lawyer for Assad — a mass murderer of Sunni Muslims, the same Sunni Muslims as Putin has in Russia; and with no real advances against ISIS. Other than that, it’s been a great success. Truth be told, I wish Putin had succeeded. It would have saved us all a lot of trouble, because ISIS is not the “J.V. team” President Barack Obama once called it. It’s actually the Jihadi AllStar team. It combines the military efficiency of Iraqi ex-Baathist army officers with the religious zealotry and prison-forged depravity of its “Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,” the Web-savvy of Arab millennials and a thrill-ride appeal
to humiliated young Muslim males, who’ve never held power, a decent job or a girl’s hand. And the ISIS threat is becoming strategic. The massive outflow of refugees from Syria and Iraq that ISIS has provoked is leading the European Union to start to close internal borders and limit the free flow of people and probably some goods as well — just the opposite of what the bloc was created to do. That will only slow the EU’s economic growth and fuel greater nationalism that could ultimately threaten its unity. The EU is America’s most important partner in managing the global system. If it is weakened, we are weakened. But to sustainably destroy ISIS, you need to understand three things: ■ It is the product of two civil wars; one was between moderate and extremist Sunnis and the other was between Sunnis and Shiites. And they feed each other. ■ The only way to defeat ISIS is to minimize the struggle between Sunnis and Shiites and strengthen the fighting capacity of moderate Sunnis against extremist ones. ■ The fight has to be led by Arabs and Muslims but strongly backed by America, the EU and, yes, Russia.
Whereas Putin’s goals are uncertain, and perhaps limited to protecting a truncated Assad regime, Obama really does want to defeat ISIS. Just as important, he wants to do it without being either Putin or George W. Bush, who just dove into the middle. But it isn’t clear that still another approach exists, let alone the fantasy options of many Obama critics, as in Donald Trump’s just “bomb the (blank) out of them.” (Gosh, no one thought of that!) Everyone wants to defeat ISIS with the “Immaculate Intervention”: more bombs from the air or somebody else’s troops, boots, risks or political transformation. Sorry, but to sustainably defeat ISIS you need a mutually reinforcing coalition. You need Saudi Arabia and the leading Sunni religious powers to aggressively delegitimize ISIS’s Islamist narrative. You need Arab, Kurdish and Turkish ground troops — backed by U.S. and NATO air power and special forces, with Russia’s constructive support — to uproot ISIS door to door. You need Iran to encourage the Shiite-led government in Baghdad to create a semiautonomous “Sunnistan” in the areas held by ISIS, giving moderate Iraqi Sunnis the same devolved powers as Kurds in Kurdistan so
they have a political alternative to ISIS. And you need Iran to agree to a political transition in Syria that would eventually replace Assad. In short, you need either a power-sharing political solution that all the key players accept and will enforce, or an armed force to just crush ISIS and then sit on the region indefinitely, so ISIS doesn’t come back. Obama can’t secure the former, and doesn’t want to do the latter. Nor do the American people — nor Obama’s critics, who want to believe there can be an Immaculate Intervention. You can say that when it comes to ISIS and Syria, Obama has done an impossible job badly, and someone else might have done it better. But it is still an impossible job as long as all the key players in that region define their interests as rule or die and as long as most of the real democrats in that region are living in exile.

Drugmakers add insult to injury IT’S ONE THING for Pfizer to renounce its U.S. citizenship, moving its official residence to Dublin, Ireland, as a tax dodge — all the while continuing to run the business in the United States. That disgusting tactic Froma happens to be Harrop disgustingly legal, thanks to our indolent Congress and its failure to fix the corporate tax laws. It’s quite another to insult the public with blatant phoniness that avoiding billions in U.S. taxes gives the company “the strength to research, discover and deliver more medicines and therapies to more people around the world.” Those are the words of Pfizer’s chief executive, Ian Read, an accountant by training. The Pfizer deal involves a
merger with a much smaller Allergan, an Ireland-based company that happens to do its business in New Jersey. Wall Street analysts scoffed at the notion that the deal had any purpose other than to let the company avoid billions in U.S. taxes — billions that other American taxpayers will have to replace. Since Read took the helm in 2010, Pfizer has slashed its research and development budget. We assume the company will expect the United States to continue subsidizing research through the taxpayer-supported National Institutes of Health. We assume it wants the U.S. government to continue defending its intellectual property rights. Pfizer made headlines more than a decade ago when it persuaded the city of New London, Conn., to use eminent domain to seize a working-class neighborhood around its shiny new head-

quarters — and replace it with an upscale shopping, hotel and office complex more to the company’s liking. Actually, it was a condition of its move to the city, according to The Day in New London. The Supreme Court gave the controversial plan a green light in 2005. Four years later, Pfizer abandoned New London. Yes, the drugmakers know how to make government work for them. Their lobbying group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, leads efforts to ensure that Americans pay far more for their products than citizens of other countries. The drugmakers’ crowning achievement was getting a Republican-controlled Congress to write a Medicare drug benefit law to their specifications. While funneling billions in taxpayer subsidies toward helping the elderly buy drugs, it forbade the U.S. government to negotiate the prices on behalf of
said taxpayers. No other Western country lets drug companies charge whatever they think they can get away with. This is why the government of Norway pays about $460 for an injection of the asthma drug Xolair and our Medicare pays about $860. (Pfizer also lobbied against proposals to let Americans buy their drugs from other countries at these lower prices.) These conversations always circle back to the drugmakers’ argument that Americans must pay their price to cover the high expense of developing wonderful life-enhancing products. We can close that circle by asking: To the extent that high U.S. drug prices support research and development benefiting the world, why are Americans the only ones footing the bills? The drugmakers don’t talk much about that publicly for a very simple reason. It is not in the interests of

their executives and investors to stop Americans from playing the chump. If they can get the job done by writing checks to obedient U.S. politicians and the chumps keep re-electing them, why make trouble for themselves? In a recent annual report, Read told shareholders of Pfizer’s desire to earn “greater respect from the public,” which entails “acting as a respectable corporate citizen.” Read may have reason to take the American public for easily deceived children. Basic decency, however, demands that he limit such thoughts to private dinner parties.

Briefly: State Police car strikes man in city street BELLEVUE — Bellevue police say a man sitting or lying in the street was hit by a patrol vehicle early Sunday morning. The officer attempted to avoid the person but struck him. The 21-year-old Bellevue resident was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with non-life-threatening injuries to his arm and leg. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the accident. The involved officer is 47 years old with 23 years of law enforcement experience.
Transit taxes SEATTLE — A second downtown light-rail tunnel could be the centerpiece of a possible 25-year, $27 billion Sound Transit package for next fall’s ballot. The agency staff Friday released 15-year, 20-year and 25-year construction options. Each requires the same $200 a year per adult in tax increases for urban parts of Snohomish, King and Pierce counties. The Seattle Times reported that the most expensive option would collect $27 billion in new taxes through 2041 to deliver light rail to Everett, Tacoma, Redmond, Issaquah, Kirkland, Ballard and West Seattle. That’s about twice what the agency sought in the Legislature this year, by asking for $15 billion in tax authority in a 15-year plan. Early estimates indicate the full network would attract perhaps 50,000 train riders in the LynnwoodEverett stretch; over 40,000 in West Seattle; around 50,000 in Federal Way and Tacoma; and maybe 55,000 in Ballard-Uptown. Less expensive options may not build all the lines. State law passed this year allows the ballot measure to raise the agency’s sales tax, now 90 cents per $100 purchase, by an additional 50 cents per $100; enact a new property tax of $25 per $100,000 of assessed value; and raise the agency’s car-tab tax of $30 per $10,000 vehicle value to $80.
ery. The other threats are dwindling food sources and marine contamination. Southern Resident whale populations have declined about 20 percent since 1990.
This year, their numbers nudged just beyond 80, but the Southern Residents are falling short of the annual 1 percent growth rate specified under the state’s killer
whale recovery goals. Researchers simultaneously used laser positioning systems to measure the distance between vessels and the whales and to gauge
vessel speed and size. The study did not assess the impact of large ships or ferries. The largest vessel studied was a 100-passenger whale-watching boat.

BREMERTON — A new University of Washington study of underwater noise finds that killer whales are bothered more by a fast boat than a large one or by a number of them in close proximity. Studies have shown that the Puget Sound’s Southern Resident orcas are affected by underwater noise produced by ships, ferries and smaller vessels. The whales spend more time and energy trying to communicate with each other over the noise, and they tend to hunt less, swim deeper and travel more when noise levels are high. “Previous studies looked at how the number and distance of boats can affect the whales,� said Juliana Houghton, a University of Washington aquatic sciences researcher and the lead author of the study. “This is the first that shows that speed is also important, and that if everybody decreased their speed, it would be helpful.� The study was conducted in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Kitsap Sun reported. It’s the first study to examine how much noise from individual boats reaches the whales in the Salish Sea, which includes the sound and the waters between Vancouver Island and British Columbia mainland. A small motorized boat traveling at high speed can be more disruptive than a large, slow-moving vessel or a group of slow-moving boats. NOAA considers vessel traffic one of the three main threats to the whales’ recov-

Seahawks stomp Vikings 38-7 Wilson and Baldwin lead Seattle to 3rd straight win BY DAVE CAMPBELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — With Seattle well in control at Minnesota, Russell Wilson raced around left end for 53 yards. Holding by the Seahawks wiped out the touchdown, so he passed for a score on the next play. At just the right time, Wilson and the two-time defending NFC champion Seahawks have found their rhythm. Wilson threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another, Seattle’s defense didn’t allow a score, and the surging Seahawks won their third straight game Sunday with a 38-7 romp over the Vikings. “Everybody’s fired up on the sidelines. It’s special to watch. It really is,” said Wilson, who has passed for 11 touchdowns without an interception, and an average of 293 yards with a 76.7 completion percentage during the winning streak. Doug Baldwin had two touchdowns and 94 yards receiving and Thomas Rawls rushed for 101 yards and a score as the Seahawks (7-5) did whatever they wanted against an injury-depleted Vikings defense. Seattle had 433
yards to Minnesota’s 125, the lowest total by any NFL team this season, according to STATS.
‘Just phenomenal’ That all starts with Wilson. “It’s hard to even explain how he’s playing. It’s just phenomenal,” Baldwin said. “He’s trusting the line, staying in the pocket, making his reads. He’s delivering the ball with stupid accuracy, and it’s unbelievable to watch.” Following a 2-4 start, with losses by a total of 17 points all to teams that were undefeated at the time, the Seahawks have climbed deeper into the playoffs picture. “It’s a grind, you know? We faced a little bit of adversity at first,” Rawls said, “but I think we’re on schedule.” League rushing leader Adrian Peterson was limited to 18 yards on eight carries, the third-lowest single-game total of his career, and the Vikings (8-4) needed a 101-yard kickoff return by Cordarrelle Peterson in the third quarter to keep from being blanked. “We were outcoached in so many ways,” Peterson said, frustrated by the lack of carries.

TACOMA — Port Angeles opened the wrestling season with a secondplace showing at the Patriot Dome Classic at Washington High School. Tyler Gale and Branden Currie each took home individual titles for the Roughriders on Saturday, Gale in the 120-pound class and Currie in the 152-pound division. Andrew St. George placed second at 113 pounds, and Cody Anderson (126 pounds), Ben Basden (132), Morgan Mower (145), Caleb Joslin (160), Jesse Salgado (170) and Thomas Blevins (182) all came in third in their respective weights. Kenny Soule (152 pounds), Blake Mann (195) and Isaiah Nichols (heavyweight) each finished fifth. Alyssa Sweet went undefeated in the girls division for Port Angeles. The Patriot Dome Classic was the Riders’ first official meet under new wrestling coach Brent Wasche. Port Angeles is at North Kitsap on Wednesday.
Girls Basketball Port Angeles 43, Fife 25 FIFE — The Roughriders finish the first week of the season with a perfect 3-0 record and have yet to allow an opponent to score more than 26 points in a game. After scoring only six points in the first half of its win over Bainbridge on Thursday, Port Angeles’ offense got going much faster in Saturday’s road win over the Trojans. “Nizhoni [Wheeler] was 6 for 10 from the field. Our team had better ball movement on offense tonight, doing well in getting her the ball later in possessions when their defense was more vulnerable inside,” Riders coach Michael Poindexter said. “As a team we shot 45 percent [effective field goal percentage], which is better than our two previous games. Besides Nizhoni, Lauren Lunt and Emily Johnson had highpercentage shooting games.” Wheeler finished with a gamehigh 14 points, while Johnson had nine and Lunt finished with eight. TURN

PORT ANGELES — Deonte Dixon drove the lane for a layup that gave the Peninsula College the lead for good less than four minutes into the game. The Pirates held that lead for good, but they spent the remaining 16-plus minutes looking back. Finally, time expired with Peninsula holding a 75-72 lead, giving the host team a victory in its first game of the First Federal Pirate Classic on Saturday. “Couldn’t shake them,” Pirates coach Mitch Freeman said. “And that’s a compliment to Tacoma and what they’ve been able to do. They’ve been in a lot of close games this year so they understand tight game scenarios. “We also have been in tight games, but we found a way to win, which is really important for a team that is really starting to build up some confidence.” While still building its confidence and, as Freeman said, seeking its “true identity,” Peninsula battled Tacoma in an early season, nonleague matchup that played more like the Northwest Athletic Conference divisional showdowns that occur in January and February.

Cougs, Huskies learn their bowl fates PENINSULA DAILY NEWS NEWS SOURCES
Miami and Washington State are headed to the Southwest for the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, on Dec. 26. The University of Washington’s football team will make its 36th bowl game appearance that same day when the Huskies take on Southern Miss in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl at the Cotton Bowl stadium. Miami closed out a tumultuous season with an 8-4 record after firing coach Al Golden after a 58-0 loss to Clemson, and recently hiring former Georgia coach Mark Richt as their new coach.
The Cougars are a surprising 8-4 and are in their second bowl in the last three seasons under coach Mike Leach. Washington State is led by sophomore quarterback Luke Falk, who averages 387.8 yards passing per game — tops in the country. Falk missed the Cougars’ final game of the regular season with a concussion. The Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl will feature the first-ever matchup between the Golden Eagles and the Huskies. Southern Miss finished its season 9-4 overall and 7-2 in Conference USA.

Turning points, big plays define four playoff teams BY RALPH D. RUSSO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michigan State needed a miracle. Hail hog helped Alabama get here. A swat saved Oklahoma’s season. Clemson turned away a late 2-point conversion that could have cost the Tigers their perfect record. A season filled with fantastic finishes helped shape the College Football Playoff, even if it led to a sleepy selection Sunday. Top-seeded Clemson will play No. 4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl in the first College Football Playoff semifinal on New Year’s Eve. No. 2 Alabama will play No. 3 Michigan State at the Cotton Bowl in the nightcap of the Dec. 31 doubleheader. No drama. No complaints. Nothing at all like the week-toweek mayhem — with one oncein-a-lifetime-play after another — that made the season memorable. In the end, the only real debate was how to rank the top four teams. Committee chairman Jeff Long said that the Tigers were the clear-cut top team in the final
College Football
To fix the offense, the Tide turned to Derrick Henry and let the 240-pound tailback shoulder the load. The junior had at least 22 carries against each of Alabama’s remaining SEC opponents, including a whopping 90 in the last two games. Against Michigan State, it will be strength against strength. The Spartans rugged defensive line with Shilique Calhoun and Malik McDowell stuffed Ohio State and Iowa’s running game. “They’re going to give him the ball plenty of times,” Michigan State coach Dantonio said. “We’re going to have to handle that.” To fix its Ole Miss problem, Alabama got some help from Arkansas, which need a stunning bounce-pass lateral play to beat the Rebels in overtime and clear a path for the Tide to win the SEC.
rankings. Long said bumping Michigan State past Oklahoma had nothing to do with avoiding the possibility of having the Sooners play close to home in the Dallas area. “We first get those top four teams, one, two, three and four, finished before we do anything else,” Long said. And that was it for drama. A big difference from last season, when the committee had to choose from Ohio State, Baylor and TCU, and ticked off the Big 12 by jumping the Buckeyes past the Bears and Frogs in the final rankings. For the playoff teams, a series of season-saving moments and turning points have brought them two wins away from a national championship. Clemson
Alabama The Crimson Tide lost to Ole Miss at home in late September, a game that left Alabama uneasy about its passing game and in need of help just to win the SEC West.
The Tigers tried to ease star quarterback Deshaun Watson into the 2015 season. The gifted dual-threat quarterback was coming off a major knee injury. Clemson coaches knew Watson’s wheels would be a weapon, but it was one they didn’t want to use until it
was needed most — like in the rain against Notre Dame. Watson ran for 16 times for 103 yards and a score in that 24-22 victory against the Irish in October, a win sealed when the Tigers defensive line stopped the Irish’s tying 2-point attempt with 7 seconds left. Down the stretch Watson’s running became an even bigger part of Clemson’s offense. He surpassed 100 yards on the ground in four of the last five games. Making plays on the move will be critical for Watson against Eric Striker, Charles Tapper and an Oklahoma pass rush that produced 3.08 sacks per game (fifthbest in the nation).
Michigan State No team in the playoff stared down defeat as frequently as the Spartans, and no situation was as dire as the one Michigan faced at the Big House in mid-October. The Spartans turned a botched punt into a last-play, game-winning touchdown at Michigan. The play was dubbed Michigan State’s Miracle, but in some ways it symbolized the Spartans’ greatest traits. They seem to embrace
adversity and delight in being the underdog. Those qualities should serve them well against an Alabama team that is favored by nine points, but has rarely been challenged deep into the fourth quarter.
Oklahoma The result is even more puzzling now than it was back in October: Texas 24, Oklahoma 17. There was nothing complicated about what went wrong in Dallas. The Sooners did not play tough. They missed tackles and blocks. Instead of allowing that dud to define their season, quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Sooners went on a seven-game winning streak, outscoring opponents 364136. Still, if not for Steven Parker slapping down TCU’s 2-point conversion pass in the final seconds to preserve a 30-29 win in late November, the Sooners would not be here. Clemson’s talented defensive line and improving offensive line will test the Sooners’ toughness the way Texas did.

Newton keeps Panthers perfect with 41-38 win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Cam Newton threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jerricho Cotchery with 1:05 left — his fifth touchdown pass of the game — to lift the unbeaten Carolina Panthers to a comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints. Newton, who completed 28-of41 passes for 331 yards, drove the Panthers 75 yards in 11 plays for the game-winning score. The Panthers (12-0) converted a fourthand-4 when Newton scrambled to his left and tossed a short lob to tight end Greg Olsen, who snagged the ball before it hit the turf. Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran 9 yards for a go-ahead touchdown with 5:21 left, but that just set up Newton’s late-game heroics.
49ers 26, Bears 20, OT CHICAGO — Blaine Gabbert threw a 71-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith in overtime after running for the tying TD late in regulation, lifting the struggling San Francisco 49ers past Chicago. The Bears (5-7) had just gone three-and-out after forcing a punt by San Francisco to start the extra period. On the first play of the 49ers’ second possession, Gabbert found a wide-open Smith along the left sideline, giving San Francisco (4-8) a surprising win over a team that had jumped into playoff contention.
Cardinals 27, Rams 3 ST. LOUIS — Running backs David Johnson and Kerwynn Williams scored a touchdown apiece and Arizona stuffed St. Louis. Johnson, a rookie, had 99 yards on 22 carries in his first start and caught one of two TD passes by Carson Palmer, who led an offense that rolled up 524 yards. Williams scored his first career TD on a 35-yard run. Larry Fitzgerald made his 1,000th reception and topped 1,000 yards for the seventh time. The Cardinals (10-2) have won six in a row, and seven of eight since losing 24-22 at home to St. Louis in Week 4. The Rams (4-8) have lost five in a row and have been outscored 58-10 the past two.
Titans 42, Jaguars 39 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Marcus Mariota scored the go-ahead touchdown on an 87-yard run midway through a wild fourth quarter, and Tennessee edged Jacksonville, 42-39 Sunday to snap its 11-game home losing streak. The Titans (3-9) had not won on their own field since Oct. 12, 2014, when they needed a blocked field goal to beat these very same Jaguars 16-14. The teams combined for much more than that
which dropped its seventh straight. Dalton connected with A.J. Green for a 23-yard TD pass in the second quarter and the Bengals moved to 10-2 for just the second time in team history. Cincinnati needed a complex scenario to clinch a playoff spot this week, and even if that doesn’t happen, the Bengals are still poised to make the postseason for the fifth season in a row. Green finished with 128 yards on five catches. The Browns (2-10) lost for the second time in six days and had two more starters go down with injuries in a season that can’t end soon enough. Cleveland QB Austin Davis passed for 231 yards in his first start this season.
NFL Roundup Sunday, scoring six touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone. Mariota finished with 112 yards rushing, becoming the first Tennessee player to run for at least 100 yards since Chris Johnson on Dec. 29, 2013. The Heisman Trophy winner also threw for three touchdowns and 268 yards. The Jaguars (4-8) failed at the chance to sweep Tennessee for the first time since 2005. Blake Bortles threw for 322 yards and five touchdowns.
Broncos 17, Chargers 3 SAN DIEGO — Brock Osweiler improved to 3-0 and the Denver Broncos breezed past the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. With the win, the 10-2 Broncos tightened their grip on first place in the AFC West and kept pace with the leaders in the conference in the race for home-field advantage in the postseason. Osweiler won his third straight game in place of the injured Peyton Manning, completing 16 of 26 passes for a touchdown and 166 yards. He was intercepted once. The Broncos raced to a 17-0 second-quarter lead and coasted in for the win. For the dreadful Chargers (3-9), Sunday’s loss was their fifth straight home defeat and fifth in a row against the AFC West.
Chiefs 34, Raiders 20 OAKLAND, Calif. — Safety Tyvon Branch returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown with 3:14 left to play, and the Chiefs held on for a victory against the Oakland Raiders at the O.co Coliseum, Kansas City’s sixth consecutive win. The Chiefs (7-5) picked off three passes from Oakland quarterback Derek Carr in the fourth quarter as they solidified their strong position in the AFC wildcard race. Linebacker Josh Mauga and cornerback Marcus Peters also had interceptions and long returns, setting up touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin caught nine passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns, both in the fourth quarter. Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith completed 16 of 22 passes for 162 yards and two scores. He also ran for a touchdown.
Eagles 35, Patriots 28 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Philadelphia Eagles roared back into contention in the shaky NFC East, rallying from a 14-0 deficit, scoring 35 consecutive points and then holding on for a wild victory over the New England Patriots.

Philadelphia wide receiver Riley Cooper batted the ensuing onside kick out of bounds and then caught a 14-yard pass from Sam Bradford on third-and-11, seemingly allowing the Eagles to run out the clock. However, running back Darren Sproles fumbled the ball back to New England at its 25. Even so, the Patriots could move only 12 yards before a pair of dropped passes helped end the home team’s hopes.
Jets 23, Giants 20, OT EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Randy Bullock kicked a 31-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime to give the Jets a stunning win that sent the reeling Giants to their third straight loss. The Jets (7-5) didn’t seal the win until Josh Brown missed a 48-yard field goal field goal with 6:33 left in the extra session, his first miss in 26 attempts this season. That left many questioning Coughlin and wondering whether the Giants (5-7) are headed for a fourth straight season out of the playoffs. Coughlin elected to go on a fourth-and-2 from the Jets 4 with his team ahead 20-10 with under nine minutes to play. The play failed.

Bills 30, Texans 21 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Tyrod Taylor threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Charles Clay with 1:53 left to lead Buffalo over Houston. Taylor finished 11 of 21 for 211 yards and three TDs and also scored on an 8-yard run. Buffalo (6-6) snapped a two-game skid and gained ground on the Texans (6-6) in the AFC playoff race. Sammy Watkins had three catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. The Texans had a four-game winning streak snapped. Houston’s Brian Hoyer finished 26 of 44 for 293 yards with three touchdowns but was unable to deliver in the clutch. Hoyer threw four consecutive incompletions on the Texans’ drive after Clay’s touchdown. The Bills took over and Dan Carpenter secured the win with a 36-yard field goal with 33 seconds remaining. Carpenter otherwise struggled, missing a 50-yard field goal attempt and an extra point.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Miami intercepted a pair of deflected passes from Matt Schaub to score two touchdowns 20 seconds apart late in the first half, and held on to beat Baltimore. The score was 0-0 when Reshad Jones intercepted a pass batted by defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to set up the game’s first score. On the next play, Ryan Tannehill hit a leaping DeVante Parker at the goal line for a 38-yard touchdown. Three plays later, defensive end Derrick Shelby slapped a pass in the air, caught it and ran 22 yards to the end zone, with Schaub giving chase in vain. The Dolphins (5-7) improved to 4-4 under interim coach Dan Campbell and ended a streak of five consecutive losses to the Ravens (4-8).

CHENEY — Cody Benzel scored a career-high 23 points and Eastern Washington, which started mostly reserves, took a 10464 win on Sunday over Great Falls, which fielded a team made up of mainly junior varsity players. Benzel made 7 of 14 3-point attempts. The Eagles (4-3) sank 17 treys, one short of the school record. Seven Eastern Washington players scored in double figures, including Sir Washington with 15 points and nine rebounds
and usual starter Felix Von Hofe, also with 15 points. Great Falls played a conference game in Billings, Montana, on Saturday night, so they showed up in Cheney with only four varsity players, including Lamar Falley, who scored 23 points. Sunday’s game was considered an exhibition for the NAIA Argonauts. A 7-0 run gave the Eagles a 48-34 halftime lead. A 15-0 run in the second half, which included four 3-pointers, extended Eastern Washignton’s lead to 33.

TAMPA, Fla. — Jameis Winston threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans with 1:39 remaining to give Tampa Bay a victory over Atlanta. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft also scored on a 5-yard run and scrambled up the middle of the field 20 yards on thirdand-19 to prolong the third gamewinning drive of his young career. Lavonte David sealed the fourth win in six games for the Bucs (6-6), intercepting Matt Ryan’s pass intended for Julio Jones on Atlanta’s final possession. The Falcons (6-6) have lost five straight, six of seven overall, after beginning the season 5-0. Winston completed 18 of 27 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception. But it was the rookie’s timely run and ability to gain another 10 yards after appearing to be stopped at the Atlanta 33 that typified what the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner has meant to Tampa Bay, which has overcome a slow start to contend for a playoff berth.

Chimacum wins one, loses one CHIMACUM — The Cowboys opened the 2015-16 season by splitting a pair of tight games. They opened with a 44-40 win over North Kitsap’s JV team on Wednesday and lost a close one to North Mason, 28-26, on Friday.
Chimacum finds itself shorthanded at the start of the season, missing a few varsity players because of injury. The Cowboys started slow in their season opener before finding their rhythm and beating the Vikings. “We saw the steady defensive pressure from Mechelle Nisbet play a large factor again for us,” Chimacum coach Trevor Huntingford said, “and Bailey Castillo has shot well and we had a large contribution from Grace Yaley, with both points and big hustle plays. She is one of our three freshman that are forced into action early due to the injured players.” Castillo led Chimacum with 14 points, while Yaley had nine. Shanya Nisbet scored eight and Mechelle Nisbet finished with seven. In Friday’s loss to North Mason, the Cowboys felt the absence of starters Alice Yaley and Nicole Cerna and key bench players. “We played solid on defense, and our kids are hanging tough playing big minutes with the limited numbers but failed to execute down the stretch,”
Huntingford said. The Cowboys also were hurt by an error from the officials. In the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs were given a one-and-one free throw setup and made both free throws. “Sadly the officials had not checked with the book and the scoreboard had the fouls wrong, so North Mason should not have been awarded the free throws of which they hit both to take a fourpoint lead,” Huntingford said. “The officials where notified of the error a two possession later, but by this time it was considered a non-correctable error. “We had time to make up the gap but were unable to down the stretch, failing to stop the clock in the final 16 seconds of the game and ultimately fell short.” Mechelle Nisbet topped the Cowboys with 13 points, while Castillo and Shanya Nisbet each scored six. Chimacum goes on the road to face a tough Olympic (1-0) squad on Tuesday. “Our focus this week will need to be on continuing to play with the unit we have and get continuity with some offensive changes and playing in new positions, as

Hawkinson leads Washington State past Portland St. 91-67 BY HOWIE STALWICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PULLMAN — Portland State was one of the few NCAA Division I basketball teams that offered Josh Hawkinson a scholarship. Sunday, Hawkinson provided the Vikings with a painful reminder how dynamic a player they lost to Washington State. Hawkinson, coming off a poor performance against No. 13 Gonzaga in Washington State’s only loss, led all players with 24 points and 10 rebounds in the Cougars’ 91-67 rout of Portland State. “He was the best player on the floor,” summed up Portland State coach Tyler Geving. “Last game was one of
my worst games ever,” Hawkinson said. “I kind of let my team down defensively.” Hawkinson, a doubledouble machine the past two seasons, had just four points and six rebounds against Gonzaga. Against the Vikings he sank 10 of 11 shots, including all eight attempts in the first half. “I didn’t know if he’d be this good,” Geving admitted. “It was important to get Josh back on his game,” Washington State coach Ernie Kent said. “I sent him a text after the Gonzaga game and just talked about toughness and talked about maybe it was my fault not calling his number more [for shots] to get him a better rhythm in the game.”
Hawkinson played just 23 minutes, the most of any Washington State starter. “He kicked our butt today,” Geving said. “He set the tone for them. I thought he was really good.” The points for and allowed were season bests for the Cougars (5-1) and season worsts for the Vikings (3-4). “Tough one,” Geving said. “Give a lot of credit to them.” Arizona State graduate transfer Calaen Robinson, one of 12 transfers on the Portland State roster, led the Vikings with 19 points. Isaiah Pineiro added 14 off the bench. Cameron Forte, who had been leading the Vikings with 21.7 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, was limited to nine
points and four rebounds. The Cougars shot 53.2 percent from the floor and held Portland State to 41 percent. The Vikings hit just 15.4 percent of their 3-pointers, compared to 38.1 for the Cougars before 1,806 spectators. “We challenged them [the Cougars] to make some necessary adjustments after the Gonzaga game,” Kent said. “Those adjustments were finishing better in transition, particularly when you have 2-on-1, 3-on2, because we felt lik ewe left so many plays on the floor that last game. And just be a little bit tougher defensively.” Washington State, much bigger than the Vikings inside, outrebounded Portland State 40-30 and had a
38-26 advantage in points in the paint. Hawkinson led the way down low, and he sank his only 3-point attempt. “If someone is hot, coach wants us to keep going to that person, and Josh was that person,” Iroegbu said. “We got off to a great start,” Kent said. “We were great defensively in the first half and we really hit a point in that game where we really clicked offensively as well, too.”
Sky Conference teams this season, having opened the season with wins over Northern Arizona and Idaho State.
Home sweet home The combined record of the five teams the Cougars have defeated is 8-29. Gonzaga is 5-2. Washington State’s first road game comes up Thursday against Idaho, located 8 miles from Pullman.

DEAR ABBY: Every year around the holidays, well-intentioned strangers wish me and my family “Merry Christmas!” Even though we are Jewish, I have always regarded it to be a kind gesture to spread good cheer. I smile and return the greeting. My children have asked me why I don’t tell people we’re Jewish and that we don’t celebrate Christmas. I don’t feel I need to educate strangers when they’re just trying to be friendly, but my kids don’t agree. We’ve had several discussions about being friendly and polite, but still they ask if being Jewish is something to keep secret or be embarrassed about. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but I do want to give my kids the message that we are proud of who we are. How do you recommend I handle this situation, because it happens a lot?

DEAR ABBY book because she was looking for Van Buren him. I was in disbelief. We almost got married in 2007, which would have been bigamy. I have stayed with him for the sake of our kids, but I’m miserable. I recently reconnected with a male friend from high school. We have been talking, but not romantically. He knows my situation. The problem is, he said that he had a crush on me back in school and still does. I have feelings for him, too — more than just friendship. What do I do? Emotionally Lost in Maryland

Dear Jill: Explain to your children that you return the greeting to be polite, not because you feel being Jewish is anything to be ashamed of. The strangers who do this are saying something nice, and you are returning the greeting. However, the response to people to whom you are closer and with whom there will be a deeper relationship should be different. To them, your children should explain that they are Jewish and that you celebrate Hanukkah rather than Christmas. When you’re with them, if they feel the need to assert their Jewish identity, they should go right ahead and do it.

Dear Lost: I can only imagine the extent to which your trust has been shaken. What you need to do right now is recognize how vulnerable you are feeling. What you shouldn’t do is rebound from one relationship into another. Because you are no longer happy with your boyfriend, consult an attorney to ensure your children’s father lives up to his financial obligations to them. If you don’t have a job, start looking for one to supplement the child support income. Once you have established economic independence, you will be in a better position to judge whether or not your old high school friend is your knight in shining armor.
Dear Abby: I have been with my boyfriend for 16 years. Last year, I found out he was married before I met him and still is married to her. He never told me he was married when I met him — or at all. If he had, we wouldn’t be together. His wife got ahold of me on Face-
